The technical director of Boca Juniors, Fernando Gagoanalyzes including in the defensive formation Marcos Rojo and Aaron Anselmino for Sunday’s game at 7:30 p.m. in La Fortaleza against Lanus for the twentieth date of the tournament Professional League.
Rojo will return for Nicolás Figal, who had a very poor performance against Deportivo Riestra, while Anselmino will occupy the place left by the injured Cristian Lema, who suffers from an injury to the external ligaments of his left ankle and a partial injury to the lower anterior tibiofibular syndesmosis that has to a recovery period between 45 and 60 days.
Today the squad trained at Boca Predio, during the morning, where Gago supervised the physical condition of the squad, and they were already ruled out in addition to Lema and Zenón who suffers a sprained left ankle, and Lucas Janson, right winger who is affected by a Grade II injury to the right hamstring.
Uruguayan striker Miguel Merentiel was also observed, who has a muscle strain for which he was excluded from the match against Deportivo Riestra (1 to 1) in La Bombonera, while Cristian Medina is removed from the team for refusing to play the match against Gimnasia and Esgrima La Plata for the quarterfinals of the Argentine Cup with the argument that they have an offer from El Fenerbahçe, from Turkey.
For their part, left back Frank Fabra and Chilean defender Gary Medel strengthen their preparation and physical fitness.

Regarding the left back, Lautaro Blanco is being closely observed by the coach since his football performance is still not convincing, so the Uruguayan Marcelo Saracchi could return.
The unknown remains in the midfield, since Gago liked the performance of Jabes Saralegui, who came on in the second half against Deportivo Riestra, and he did not like the performance of Agustín Martegani, so changes are foreseen in the middle of the basketball court.
Given that Gago always announces the formation minutes before the game, and the technical talk is given at the hotel where Boca is concentrated, it is premature to anticipate the other changes that the coach will implement.
Boca’s probable formation to face Lanús would be with Leandro Brey; Luis Advíncula, Aaron Anselmino, Marcos Rojo, Lautaro Blanco or Marcelo Saracchi; Tomás Belmonte, Ignacio Miramón, Agustín Martegani or Jabes Saralegui or Milton Giménez; Brian Aguirre, Edinson Cavani and Exequiel Zeballos.
